Good advice! i'm planning on doing just that!! i'm also looking for a way to possibly combine this with a local art festival that has the theme of working with light. Meaning, all the artwork incorporates light in the pieces.

i didn't know about the festival you mentioned. Thank you! i'm sure something interesting could be done here easily, i was just needing at least someone from here to be interested.

I'd be interested in participating. Summer works best for my schedule or over Christmas break... so the 12/21/12 would work.. and wow what a cool thing that would be. You might talk to Kati Astreair at Solar Culture and see if they would want to host if you need ideas for that._________________What color is the wind? Magnetic.... can you feel it?

Go for it! I'm too far away to participate in person, but I'd like to follow the progress of this, and I'd be interested in remote participation if you include that. _________________AudiodefSynthetronicaGentoo Studio

I've been trying to get local acts involved, but been having difficulties (you know how sleepy this town can be sometimes). There's another experimental promoter i'm waiting for a response from that may be able to help.

i have a GREAT location lined up, where there's sleeping accommodations, lots of land, art installations, things to do etc, only problem is getting the acts motivated.

BUT..........
We've been thinking of re-locating to the Bay Area this Summer.
This would put us much closer to an experimental hotbed, and there shouldn't be as many problems as here in the desert, and i can find more people to help,
cuz i CANT do this alone.

The bay area would be a great place for an electro-music Festival. I have been trying to set one up there for several years, but haven't been able to pull it off yet. If you would like to do a bit of the organizing I'm sure we could pull it off._________________--Howard

With our daughter Sierra living in Oakland now, I'd be thrilled to piggy-back this onto a a tentatively planned drive out there in the summer. I've got two summer conferences to attend elsewhere, one in Vegas, will keep my eyes on this thread _________________When the stream is deep

FWIW, there are a lot of festivals in the Bay Area already. At least 2 Electronic Music Festivals, Noise Fest, Loopfest, and any number of showcases that happen monthly, quarterly and so forth.

I have scoped places to do a festival, but I am afraid the cost will be much higher than the kind of attendance we would likely receive. Ideally, it would be helpful to patronize the events going on already. With so many, they are competing for support as it is.

Here are some resources to check out for local Electronic / Experimental events:

Ah, thanks for checking into it Jack.
You're probably right about cost vs. attendance.
A friend did some checking as well on places, and there'd definitely need to be a substantial turnout (which there aren't that many Western e-mers....
But i'll run a poll in a few months to check.
